I'll be researching this shortly, but I need to send some POST data (without using libraries like cURL - just using plain old sockets).  GET is easy, since it's all right in the url (http://whatever.com/index.php?var1=val1&var2=val2).   POST might be easy, too, but I haven't really looked into it yet.  Just thought I'd throw this out as an easy task I could use help on.

post is really the more secure of the two, you shouldn't need any additional mods or anything though.

Thanks, but I was hoping for some code samples (using bsd-sockets, not HTML/php/etc.) or at least a specification of what needs to be sent.

I think with POST, you just add a couple CRLF's after the header and start the data, but I'm not sure.  I'm also not sure if it's even necessary.  Is there a limit on how long a GET string can be?  A limit on how big POST can be?
